He was allowed pension on his application executed November 19, 1818, at which time he was seventy-five years of age and a resident of Oneida County, New York. and he In 1823 he was living in Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, and he then referred to his wife, Eleanor, as being seventy-five years of age.

J. L. Edwards Esq.
Com. of Pensions
Sir I am requested to obtain from you intelligence as to the circumstances attending the pension of Ezekiel Goodale of the town of Wootenstown & State of New York now deceased. He is said to have been a Lieutenant in the New Hampshire Line in the Revolution & received a pension under the act of 1818 until 1820 when he was struck from the roll upon the alleged ground that he had too much property to be continued on the pension roll. Some four years thereafter he was again restored to the roll & received a pension until his death which took place some few years since. It is said that his pension was granted in this way to wit half pay for life or full

pay for five years. His heirs suppose that they have grounds of some relief before Congress on account of the closing of his pension for 4 years after 1820. & they are also anxious to know whether some of his pension did not remain in arrear at his death to which his heirs are entitled. Will you therefore inform me
First whether said soldier was stricken from the pension roll for the cause above suggested & whether there was any & what change in his property was shown which occasioned his restoration or whether his restoration was owing to a change in the opinion of the commissioners?
Second when was he struck from the roll & when restored
Third did any of his pension remain in arrear & unpaid at the time of his death & what is the evidence of the final

payment & settlement of his pen- sion
Fourth what was the gross amount of the pensioners property when stricken from the roll & when restored as found on your file - It is said that this soldier was placed on the pension roll of the State of New York.

Personally appeared in open Court being a Court of Record for the said County by a law of the said State Ezekiel Goodale who being duly Sworn doth depose & say that the only property he has disposed of since the 18th day of March 1818. is two notes he held payable in goods the date nor the amount he does not recollect which were paid & the assets consumed by him & his wife he also had at that time one Stock which is since broken and destroyed. he further States that the reason why he did not exhibit a Schedule of his property prior to the passage of the act of the 1. March 1823. was that with the money he had received by his pension & the property mentioned above & the assistance of a child he had until lately been able to obtain a maintenance.
